First aid: artificial breathing(mouth to mouth)

1

In case of electric shock you have to ensure the first aids to

the patient, but to do this you have to consider two very

important things:

- interrupt immediately the electric circuit;

- if the circuit has not been interrupted, do not touch

the patient with bare hands;

After doing this, without delay contact the nearest mobile

unit of first aid and practice to the patient, in case of loss of

consciousness, the breathing mouth to mouth as described

below.

2

Put the patient lying on his back with the arms parallel to

the body, ensure that he does not have the breathing tracts

obstructed (chewing-gum, dental prosthesis, etc.),

otherwise set him free from foreign bodies.

Kneel near the patient’s head and putting a hand under his

neck, incline as possible his/her head backwards.

3

Going on with keeping the patient’s head inclined with one

hand, use the other one to occlude the nostrils, if you are

going to practise the breathing through the oral cavity, or

occlude the mouth if you want to do it through the nasal

cavity.

While doing this begin the auto-oxygenation, with deep

breathing.

Then practice the artificial breathing blowing in the chosen

cavity beginning with ten expirations each minute to go on

them with twelve and fifteen.

4

During the breathing procedure you have to control that the

patient’s chest dilates, otherwise change cavity where to

blow the air because the previous one could be obstructed.

5 Do not ever stop the artificial breathing until the patient

has recovered or the first aid unit has come.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EK-CDP/2 board allows to connect the EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 unit to the SHF parts inserted

into the Eurotek Out Door Units (ODU)* and allows the use of every frequency band, at present,

available.

Thanks to the use of two N type connectors every single board can control simultaneously two

external sections (ODU) in completely independent way one from the other.

We can therefore connect simultaneously a transmission section and receiver section in order to

obtain a bi-directional connection simply using only one Mo-demodulator for every single

emplacements.

The board has also two auxiliary IF 70 MHz input that can be used as possible reserve signals in

both transmission and receiver sites.

From the menu of the EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 we will be able to read several information on the

operation of the ODU (OUT DOOR UNIT) like for example the power transmitted, the received

field or if there are active alarms. Through the keyboard we will always to decide which ODU we

can qualify, send to the transmitting ODU the auxiliary IF eventually at disposal at the input of the

board (IF IN TX), set the manual control gain of conversion gain, receive the signal by the ODU

receiver or choose an external IF (IF OUT RX) and in presence of ODU synthesized change the

channel of the radio link.

The board is moreover equipped with a protection circuit that in present of a short circuit on the

coaxial cable or in the ODU , to disable the power supply in order to protect the board from ulterior

damaging.

*The ODU models that are supported by the EK-CDP/2 board are:

TRANSMITTER VERSION

A4D-ExT/1 (single-channel)

A4D-ESxT/1 (multi-channel)

x = frequency (GHz)

RECEIVER VERSION

A4D-ExR/1 (single-channel)

A4D-ESxR/1 (multi-channel)

x = frequency (GHz)

The model version is reported on the Eurotek label

The example below explains how to set the frequency value of the gain control of the board (Rx

menu).

When the EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 is configured (EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 user ‘s handbook,

display and keyboard description paragraph), it is possible, using the “explore menu” keys (EK-

MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 user ‘s handbook, front panel description paragraph), to see the boards that

are inserted in the system. We suppose to insert the EK-CDP/2 board in the slot number three. The

following view appears on the display of the EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2:

Pressing the “enter” key, (EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 user ‘s handbook, front panel description

paragraph) the user can enter to the EK-CDP/2 menu and using the “explore menu” keys it is

possible to see the four main menu of the board: Status, ODU RX Set, ODU TX Set and Revision.

EK-CDP/2 13

601-000149 Rev. C Arch. 5389 16/02/2017

When the ODU RX Set menu is selected (above view), pressing the “enter” key it is possible to

enter in the sub-menu of the ODU RX Set menu and, using the “explore menu” keys, to run until the

Rx menu as follow:

Entering in the Rx menu, it is possible to see the actual value of the board gain control (in the above

view: agc). To change the value, push the “enter” key first, with the “modifying variable” keys it is

possible to set the new value (in the below view: mgc) and confirm it pressing again the “enter” key.

If, after the change, the “escape” key (EK-MFR/1 or EK-MFR/2 user ‘s handbook, front panel

description paragraph) is pushed, the display returns the previous value.

4. REMOTE CONTROL

The board can be controlled using two different ways:

Eurotek MST, an application that permits to manage and monitor all the board functionalities (Parameter settings, Internal connections, Log analysis, Software upgrade,

etc…), for more information see the Eurotek MST user manual.

Web Pages, using a standard web browser it is possible to see the web pages showing all the board parameters (see EK-MFR/2 user manual, web interface chapter), with limited

functionalities respect to the Eurotek MST.
